Hi,
I asked on IRC yesterday, and was told that kernel modesetting should
allow the usage of graphics cards with x86-only ROMs to be used in
MIPS, SPARC, PA-RISC, and other architectures where the card would
normally require a special ROM.
Is this really the case? If so, how does this get around the lack of
ROM initialization at boot-time? Are there any caveats?
I'm specifically asking about Radeon, but answers pertaining to any
and all other graphics cards will be tolerated. ;)
Thanks,
Matt Turner
